I was also at the Freepers yipping ground today and one guy had a whole list
of links to articles detailing the love fest between SH and AQ. Most of the
links were right back to Freeper articles, though.

Hey thanks, I never heard of a freeper before, but google has.
Heres the top link from a list on the yipping ground.

right, but it doesnt address or improve anything. Indeed, it prevents others
from addressing or improving anything and simply preserves blissful ignorance.

Whatever. I simply dug up the link because Daves original post
mentioned it and then immediately dismissed it with a somewhat misleading

you wish.
Now thats cool.
